Safety Tips for Prague Chat

Protect yourself while making new connections online

Protect Your Personal Information

Your personal details are valuable. Avoid sharing information that could identify you offline, including your full name, home address, workplace, phone number, or financial information. Even seemingly harmless details like your favorite coffee shop or daily routine can be used to locate you. Remember, you don't need to share these details to have a meaningful conversation.

Use a Nickname

When creating your profile, choose a username that doesn't reveal your real identity. This adds an important layer of privacy. You can always share your first name in conversation if you feel comfortable, but there's no need to use your legal name.

Be Mindful of What You Share

Think before sending photos or videos. Avoid images that show your face clearly if you're concerned about privacy, or at least avoid photos that include identifiable background information like your home, car, or workplace. Once you send something, you lose control over where it might end up.

Trust Your Instincts

If something feels off about a conversation or another user, trust that feeling. It's perfectly acceptable to end a chat, block someone, or report them if they make you uncomfortable. You have complete control over who you interact with.

Report Suspicious Behavior

Our platform provides easy reporting tools. If someone is harassing you, asking for money, sharing inappropriate content, or violating our community guidelines, please report them immediately. Our moderation team reviews all reports promptly and takes appropriate action.

Never Send Money

No legitimate person you meet on Prague Chat should ever ask you for money, gifts, or financial assistance. Scammers often create emotional stories to exploit kindness. If someone asks for money, report them immediately and block their account.

Stay Within the Platform

While it's natural to want to move conversations to other platforms, be cautious. Scammers and catfishers often try to move chats to less moderated spaces where they have more control. If you do move to another platform, remember that our safety tools no longer apply.

Video Chat Safely

When using video chat, be aware of your surroundings. Ensure your background doesn't reveal private information or compromising items. Consider using a virtual background if you prefer extra privacy. Also, make sure you're in a private space where you won't be interrupted.

Meet in Public Places

If you decide to meet someone in person—always meet in a public place like a café, restaurant, or park. Inform a friend or family member about your plans, including who you're meeting and where. Arrange your own transportation and avoid going to private residences on first meetings.

Verify Identity

While we have verification systems, it's still wise to be cautious. Consider having a quick video call before meeting in person to confirm the person matches their profile. Be wary of anyone who consistently refuses video chat or makes excuses about why they can't meet virtually.

Block and Report Abusers

Don't hesitate to use the block feature if someone is bothering you. Blocking prevents them from contacting you again. Always report abusive behavior as well—this helps protect the entire community.

Keep Your Account Secure

Use a strong, unique password for your Prague Chat account and enable two-factor authentication if available. Never share your login credentials with anyone. Log out of your account when using shared or public computers.

Understand Our Moderation

We employ both automated systems and human moderators to keep the platform safe. However, no system is perfect. Your reports help us identify issues we might have missed. The more specific you are in your report, the better we can investigate.
